I used Scott's as well as Pennington's northeast mix (from homedepot) couple of months back to reseed my lawn. Now some of the grass that has come up , I'm not sure what kind it is. Is it Kentucky bluegrass or something else ? If it is Kentucky bluegrass, is it this light green ? Images attached.

Those pale blades look like nutgrass, aka nut sedge. DON'T fool with weed and feed for that. If you can, hit is with some straight undiluted glyphosate and be sure it's dead and gone before you plant anything else there. There's also nut grass killers but they're expensive.

Perhaps someone else here will have experience with that.

DON'T let that nutgrass get out of hand!

Also, where (generally) are you located (county and state is fine)? This will give a better idea how much time in the year you have.

Re: Is this Kentucky Bluegrass or what kind of grass it is ?

Its the right color for nut sedge, but not sure if the shape is correct. Looks like recently cut, so hard to tell. Nutsedge has a distinct shape where several blades will come off one stalk, and will grow much faster and taller than the grass.

Thank you. It is nutgrass only. It is growing very rapidly and is matching all characteristics. Pics I posted are after mowing lawn and that is why grass blades are cut.
Thank you all for your valuable feedback.

Looks like nutgrass. Where it gets the multiple blades from one stalk is when it seeds.

Re: Is this Kentucky Bluegrass or what kind of grass it is ?

Yes. Thank you . Applied SedgeHammer 4 days back and it already started turning yellow/brown everywhere in my lawn.

Can you post a picture? It's nice to see that expletive stuff dying or dead!

Be warned that this plant is the devil incarnate. It will not give up easily. Be prepared for it to pop up again in the future, though it looks like you don't (thankfully! ) have a heavy infestation of it.

I don't have enough to justify the expensive stuff, though I'm finding the roundup treatment to not be as effective all the time as hoped. So, maybe Sedge Hammer or something like it will appear in my Toxic Chemical Arsenal.
